The Estes Park Ladycats basketball team improved to 3-0 on Friday night with their latest efforts. This time, the girls defeated the Fort Lupton Blue Devils on the road by a score of 48-34. The 14-point margin understated the 'Cats' dominance.

The Estes Park defense held their hosts to only three points in the opening stanza of Friday's tilt. The Devils scored only 11 points in the first half. The Ladycats, led again by Amanda Dill's 12 points, piled on an insurmountable halftime lead of 29-11 before calling off hostilities.

The Blue Devils made up a little ground against the Estes Park bench in the second half, but couldn't overcome the early gap.

Bizzy Palmer was named player of the game for the Ladycats. She scored 10 points in the win. Becky Reilly also contributed 10 points. Susannah Jones scored eight points. Kaitlin Thompson contributed six points. Karin Kingswood and Ashlyn Johnson each added one point.

The Ladycats were in Loveland on Tuesday night where they took on the 1-2 Resurrection Christian Cougars. The host Cougars entered the game with a win over Lyons to start their season. They have since lost to Akron, 89-17, and Yuma, 104-13.

On Friday, the Ladycats will try again to host the Bishop Machebeuf Buffaloes. The Estes Park girls were supposed to host the Buffs back on Saturday, Dec. 1, but the game had to be rescheduled after the school was used as an evacuation center for residents displaced by the Fern Lake Fire.
